This site is very much a work in progress.
I have provided lists of publications in refereed journals and conference proceedings in my Publications section, along with online outreach. Copies of almost all papers are freely available, if you click on the title of the paper.
I have given a skeleton outline of my career in the Career window... this will be fleshed out with detailed pages soon.
I will soon be adding an introduction to X-ray astronomy and my research interests for a general audience
Meanwhile, here is the Sculptor galaxy in visible light and X-rays. It is about 10 million lightyears away, so we are seeing the galaxy as it was 10 million years ago.
The visible image combines the light from around 100 billion stars.
However, only about 100 star systems in the Sculptor galaxy are bright enough to see in X-rays... they are X-ray binary systems, where a black hole or neutron star feed off of a normal star and I'll be putting up much more about them soon
